i O 0 01-12 s CH3 CH son R2 I z a Ph3P=C H C OZCHQCHQ to N Ra Ra I When R is other than (methylsulfinyl)methyl, they are prepared by treating the (methylsulfinyl)methyl substituted carbostyrils with acetic anhydride as set forth in the body of the specification.

These compounds are useful in providing symptomatic relief of allergic conditions such as bronchial asthma.

The present invention is concerned with 4-substituted carbostyrils having the following structural formula:

R1 R2 I wherein R is (methylsulfinyl)methyl, dimethoxymethyl, acetyl (methylthio)methyl, formyl or hydroxymethyl; R and R are hydrogen, halogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, aralkyl, aryl, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, acylamino, hydroxy or taken together R and R form another aromatic ring, and R is hydrogen or methyl.

The above compounds exhibit anti-allergic activity in several mammalian species. For example, using test procedures described by I. Mota, Life Sciences, 7, 465 (1963); Z. Ovary and O. Bier, Proc. Soc. Exptl. Biol. Med., 81, 584 (1952) utilizing sensitized rats as the host these compounds administered at a dose of 100 mg./kg. intraparenterally have been observed to suppress allergic manifestations.

Y Generally speaking, these compounds are indicated in providing symptomatic relief in allergic manifestations such as asthma. A dose of about mg./kg. is prescribed to provide such relief.

In order to use these compounds they are formulated with pharmaceutical excipients such as sesame oil, peanut oil or water for injection into dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration.

According to the present invention the above compounds wherein R is (methylsulfinyl)methyl are prepared from the corresponding o-aminomethylsulfinylacetophenones by the following reaction scheme:
